[QUOTE="trepamuros, post: 661177, member: 85204"] Hello, I have tried everything on my hand, but I'm not capable of doing such this simple thing. A process plugin which I have installed uses a hotkey to activate (by default is Ctrl+k, but is user-defined). To simplify things, I set the "º" key (not used by MediaPortal) as the plugin hotkey. Of course, I can activate the plugin with the keyboard. Now, I want my original Microsoft MCE remote to activate the plugin. In other words, map a remote button to send/emulate the "º" keypress. It should be an easy task, I presumed. But no way to to this. In Remote Mapping section, there's no way to assign a key to a button. Also, plugin window ID is not listed in the windows list, nor in the actions list. In Keys and Sound section, there's no way to create a "new action" which points to the plugin nor emulate the hotkey. Tried to assign a preexisting action to the "º" hotkey, but does nothing. Tried Generic Keyboard/Remote plugin, same as above: Plugin is not listed, not action nor window ID.
